What constitutes a formal award? I have described academic achievements too, not sure if this is the correct thing to do?
I put academic awards for the Graduate Workshop and they accepted me on, and have done the same for the TC app! Sure it's fine. Good luck with your application!!!

Hi everyone. Does anyone have any idea how hard it is to get a place in a Non-Law Workshop or how many seats are available per workshop?
As long as you have a strong application, I don't think it's particularly hard. I was on last year's non-law workshop and I think there were about 20-25 of us.
